About Libra Lamb from USA: Actually loves Mariah.

Hostage release Nothing Is Impossible (111,847) by Libra Lamb from USA There are anti fascists here, I'm one of them. Not everyone supports his authoritarian regime. Some of us have a brain. (Monday 13 October 2025; 17:58) this is a reply to message 111,845

Hostage release Nothing Is Impossible (111,845) by Edward from USA Don't mention Trump here, there are some extreme lunatics that would come for your throat, literally. (Monday 13 October 2025; 16:22)

Head scratcher (111,548) by Libra Lamb from USA I agree with you on the questionable single choices. I really enjoy I Won't Allow It, should've been the first choice. Type Dangerous is my least favorite song on the album and feels out of place with the album and yet I find myself humming it throughout out the day. I really enjoyed Jesus I Do and I'm, it's perfect, and I'm not a religious person. I can't stop paying the album. Glad you're enjoying it.

Head scratcher (111,541) by Bill from the UK I don't understand why Type Dangerous and Sugar Sweet were chosen to launch the album when you had compositions like In Your Feelings, Nothing Is Impossible, and I Won't Allow It that are so much better, different to any other launch she's done before, and better represent the album's sound. It's to the point they sound somewhat out of place and I find myself skipping them so I stay in that 70s lane. I can't stop playing this album, it's so good. (Saturday 27 September 2025; 10:14)

And here it was (111,528) by Libra Lamb from USA My complaint is that it's too short. Before you know it you're listening to the end track of the album. Hopefully the rest of the songs will grow on you. I have no complaints about any single track. I just wish there was one or two more.

And here it was (111,515) by TJ from Norway So, what do you all think? I think there's a couple of songs that are OK, but I am not sure about the rest of it. The title song is definitely the best one. (Friday 26 September 2025; 17:09)

SZA/Apple (111,491) by Libra Lamb from USA I second your comment. Some of us liked and supported Mariah through the “Pariah” stage and loony tunes era. (Friday 26 September 2025; 07:54) this is a reply to message 111,460

SZA/Apple (111,460) by BFF from United States I found SZA to be really annoying in that interview ("Hi queen", "You are everything", etc. is just way too much). I definitely enjoyed the Gayle King interview much more. The whole "Flowers" concept and the performative fangirl routine from all of these "Johnny come lately" Mariah fans makes me roll my eyes. I ventured out on 9/11/2001 after they released us from school to buy the "Glitter" album and purchased multiple copies of the "Loverboy" single to help with the effort to get it to #1. I'm a fan who remembers when you would be pilloried for openly liking Mariah, so I am unimpressed by much of this lol. (Thursday 25 September 2025; 15:34)

Article: Album review: Mariah is "Here for It All" on new album (111,485) by Libra Lamb from USA I really enjoyed the entire album. It was, dare I say, cohesive. (Friday 26 September 2025; 07:00)

Looking back on Glitter (111,341) by Libra Lamb from USA It seems that since Rainbow there's been a lot of missed single opportunities. Except The Emancipation. That was an era. I wish we had something remotely like that again. (Saturday 20 September 2025; 17:58) this is a reply to message 111,335

Looking back on Glitter (111,335) by T from USA After Rainbow, and the D, F, H, H, first singles maybe 2001 was the moment she should've changed it up and not been so predictable with a lesser version of a first up-tempo single (sure if the original Firecracker was released that would've been better). But maybe the first single should've been her first single ballad since Vision of Love. New label, a reset. In hindsight I would've picked Lead The Way. It's Mariah's favorite song on the album and it's arguably the best song on the album. It would've won over the general public too, and that would've had a positive effect on the movie. Second single could've been, Loverboy. Then If We, followed by Last Night A DJ Saved My Life. Glitter was the original wrong single choices album. (Saturday 20 September 2025; 14:49)

Play this Song (111,338) by Libra Lamb from USA This is somewhat exciting. I'm tired of singles getting dropped and then immediately dropped from promotion. Mariah is going to have to actual promote if she wants this album and singles to do well. I caved in and preordered the album even though I think there will be deluxe versions coming later. At least I hope so. It's getting kinda boring. Other artists put way more effort into their art. She'll always have her hits and number ones. If she's happy with that, so am I.

Play this Song (111,333) by Chicago Lamb from USA According to reports, Mariah's next single, "Play This Song" featuring Anderson .Paak, is set to drop September 26 - the same day as her new album Here For It All. The video is already filmed, and sources say it's big-budget and stunning. Fans can expect Mariah looking amazing, with a fun R&B groove that's perfect to dance to.

Packer (111,337) by Libra Lamb from USA Honestly, if I told you, I'd get banned. They know who they are and what they participated in getting us in the US to a fascist state. (Saturday 20 September 2025; 16:38) this is a reply to message 111,328

Packer (111,328) by Bill from the UK Who rattled your cage? (Saturday 20 September 2025; 11:55)

Packer (111,336) by Libra Lamb from USA I never needed or asked for you to advocate for me. Your heightened intuition failed you somehow. You just give off really big red flags. Stay away for me. Keep your fictional book too. I’m glad people can still worship whatever and whomever they want. For now. (Saturday 20 September 2025; 16:25) this is a reply to message 111,332

Packer (111,332) by Lambi from USA Honestly, after reading your comment, I regret advocating for your return. I stood up for you thinking you were misunderstood, turns out that was the real fiction. Maybe stick to Stephen King, at least his characters have depth. (Saturday 20 September 2025; 13:34)

Packer (111,331) by Libra Lamb from USA Now, that was funny. (Saturday 20 September 2025; 13:11) this is a reply to message 111,328

Packer (111,328) by Bill from the UK Who rattled your cage? (Saturday 20 September 2025; 11:55)

Packer (111,324) by Libra Lamb from USA Personally, I prefer Stephen King for my fiction. (Saturday 20 September 2025; 10:03) this is a reply to message 111,307

Packer (111,307) by Lambi from USA That is hilarious. Yup, I've helped a girlfriend find out if she was being cheated on by looking at her man's tagged photos. She thanked me endlessly. I'm exactly like your friend, I analyze people to their core too. Usually, I just know if I want to be around someone or not. They might not have necessarily done anything, but something in my spirit tells me no. It's a great thing. I've always been pretty blunt as well, and I'm not afraid to call people out on their BS. Thanks, lamb. I'm a Bible-believing Christian, but you've just sparked an interest in me about zodiac signs. By the way, I may pursue being hired to be in Mariah's team soon so hopefully I get to relay a lot of lambs valid sentiments from here. It's not quite a solid decision yet though. Praying about it. Wish me luck. (Friday 19 September 2025; 02:38)

Album length (111,323) by Libra Lamb from USA Must be British humor. It was lost in translation to me. (Saturday 20 September 2025; 07:36) this is a reply to message 111,319

Album length (111,319) by 4real4real from UK Bill, this is hilarious. (Friday 19 September 2025; 22:06)

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,322) by Libra Lamb from USA Great post. This album or soundtrack is one of my all time favorites. No skips and just the right amount of songs. (Saturday 20 September 2025; 00:16) this is a reply to message 111,311

Here For It All streaming party countdown (111,311) by 4real4real from UK Day 8: Glitter (2001) + Out Here On My Own (Rarities) + Loverboy (Original Firecracker Version) (The Rarities) Here For It All will be released globally at midnight 26th September 2025, New York time. For full impact, commence streaming each album from midnight NY time in your local area. September 18, Day 7 - tonight we hit the most misunderstood chapter of Mariah's catalogue: Glitter. For years it was the punchline, but we know better. This is the record where she finally had zero label restrictions (the movie's another story) and just let the music and her creative juices flow. You can literally hear her laughing on every uptempo. That's freedom on tape. This was her first release on Virgin after breaking Janet's contract record with a $100M deal. Big leap, big pressure, but also a clean slate. And she made a soundtrack that doubles as one of the most fun, vocally crazy, 80s-inspired dance albums ever. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis still call it one of the best dance records of all time. "Loverboy" was the lead. The biggest-selling song of 2001 and by now everyone knows the drama: the original Firecracker sample got snatched, so she reworked it overnight with Cameo's "Candy". We didn't hear the real version until The Rarities in 2020, and it was worth the wait. I like to stream both versions back to back, followed by the remix. If the label had sense, they would've led with "If We". That thug love duet blueprint basically set the tone for half of the 2000s. And "Lead The Way"? That vocal climax is still one of the most technically perfect and emotional moments of her career. The clip of her singing it to the point of collapse goes viral once every few years for good reason. That's not a stunt, that's her giving everything. The whole record is drenched in 80's sparkle and she was ahead of the revival by a few years. You can hear her love for Stacey Lattisaw, Kashif, Lisa Lisa... all over it. "Didn't Mean to Turn You On" is a perfect throwback including Jam & Lewis' original production. It's pure, fizzy fun and a cover Cherrelle's original, but with MC's voice wrapped around that Jam & Lewis production like silk. Then there's "All My Life", one of the most underrated tracks in her whole catalogue. The story behind it is producer Rick James apparently requested everything be white for the session: white limo, white suit, and, well... let's just say a certain extra-white powdery "accessory". The song itself is smooth and dreamy, the kind of late-night groove you want on repeat until sunrise. And shout-out to the Lambs for finally getting Glitter the respect it deserves: we pushed it to #1 on iTunes during the Caution countdown back in 2018, leading Mariah to finally allow it onto streaming. We're still waiting for the videos and singles, including all of the remixes, to get a proper release. Come on MC, come through. Can you swing it on home with a YouTube release, at least? The movie turns 24 in two days, on the 21st. On that day we will be up to The Emancipation of Mimi on the countdown. Once you've spun the album, pair director Vondie Curtis Hall's Gridlock'd (1997, starring Tupac) with Glitter for a back to back double feature. See how Hall handled grit and glamour- and how Billie Frank deserved better. So hit play and celebrate Mariah at her most unfiltered. Under the glitter there's heart, humour, and vocals for days. She made this for herself, but she left it here for us. LYM? Mariah Carey "Here For It All" release countdown streaming calendar: Midnight Eastern Time September 19th Glitter, 20th Charmie, 21st Emancipation, 22nd E=MC2, 23rd Memoirs, 24th Elusive Chanteuse, 25th Caution plus beyond, 26th HFIA.​ (Friday 19 September 2025; 11:40)

New album anticipation (110,587) by Libra Lamb from USA Don't mind me. I'm just here to read all the hateful comments towards Mariah. (Tuesday 19 August 2025; 23:40)

Taylor Swift (110,494) by Libra Lamb from USA Nope. Didn't help. Thanks for trying. (Friday 15 August 2025; 00:33) this is a reply to message 110,493

Taylor Swift (110,493) by Lambi from USA Blow up doll = never ending boob jobs. Present father = could've protected her from Alison selling her to a pimp, from Tommy's dangerous relationship and the evil of Hollywood. I'm getting to the nucleus of it. You can all boil it down to a lack of a father's presence. But out of respect for Alfred Roy, I'm sure he had his traumas in the military, which is why a stable household was a challenge. He exited on a peaceful note with MC so they at least both got to have that. I hope this helps. (Friday 15 August 2025; 00:00)

Taylor Swift (110,492) by Libra Lamb from USA Women are very capable of defending themselves and standing up for themselves. Especially Mariah. She's anything but a blow up doll. It's 2025 in case you're lost (Thursday 14 August 2025; 22:20) this is a reply to message 110,488

Taylor Swift (110,488) by Lambi from USA I'm so happy to hear that. Blake Lively is despicable. She tried to threaten Taylor Swift by saying, "I'm going to leak ten years of your messages if you don't stand up for me." Taylor is going to flex her empire hard. I've also been following the lawsuit, so knowing that she's preparing to clap back is exciting. I also became a fan of Scott Swift, her dad, in the process. When he heard about the threats, he immediately gave the information to the opposing team, so now they have evidence of Blake Lively's extortion attempt. I love it. It made me wish Mariah had a protective father figure like that throughout her life. Maybe she wouldn't be so damaged and wouldn't be the blow-up doll she is today, if she had consistently felt deeply loved by a father since she was a child. (Thursday 14 August 2025; 15:03)

Article: Mariah keeps it nice, neat, "sugar sweet" on new single (110,202) by Libra Lamb from USA Personally, and in my little humble opinion, it's the best she's put out in years as far as "reachability" to the target audience. I do find it stuck in my head and I can't shake it off, pun intended. Seriously though, I've heard the Mariah solo version too and I love the collaborations better. Just in case that was a deciding factor. (Tuesday 29 July 2025; 19:41)

Mariah's charting power (110,044) by Libra Lamb from USA At first listen, I was hooked. It's not going to change the world. It's just a song. It's just a piece of someone's art. I really like it but I can see how people that are tired and unhappy would want to rip it apart and poop on it, that's the case with anything. I will still listen to it and enjoy it because I actually do love Mariah. I'm only here for the music, not the opinions of people who don't matter at all. (Friday 25 July 2025; 13:23) this is a reply to message 110,038

Mariah's charting power (110,038) by MhieMhie from Vietnam I have no more hopes for this but I am just glad that she is able to put out music that I can consume. She has done it all - nothing more to prove. If she scores another hit - good - if not good as well. Similar to my favorite non-charting artists, I live for their art and not their chart success. (Friday 25 July 2025; 12:42)

Article: Mariah Carey confirms Kehlani and Shenseea collaboration (110,022) by Libra Lamb from USA Wow. What a great song. We desperately needed this to get us through these times. (Friday 25 July 2025; 06:52)

Here For It All (110,011) by Libra Lamb from USA Anyone know where we can get the most bang (tracks) for our buck? I'm not buying more than one copy of this album. Otherwise, I'm super exited because it's supposed to be a return to her true form. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 18:11) this is a reply to message 110,009

Here For It All (110,009) by Bobby A from United States I understand better today the reason why just 11 tracks because of the hype statement on Record Store Day's website. The hype statement says: "Here For It All is Mariah Carey's new forthcoming project with Gamma. This album marks the start of a bold new era for Mariah. It balances her legacy with fresh cultural relevance and pop significance." MC hasn't had an album you can listen to without any skips since Butterfly. Here For It All is going to be that no skips album. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 17:13)

Webmaster request (110,006) by Libra Lamb from USA [censored] "Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance." (Plato) This quote suggests that opinions are a state of understanding that falls between true knowledge and complete ignorance. It implies that while opinions can be a step up from not knowing anything, they are not a reliable form of knowledge in themselves. Have fun with that. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 16:31) this is a reply to message 110,003

Webmaster request (110,003) by Stacey from USA "Folks just need to stop feeling like it's their duty to set others straight, to reprimand" is not a direct "hit" on you. It's not even an jnsult. Good grief, lol. But rather a general statement toward all those in the 20+ years I've been posting here who act like that. But you keep thinking you are right about me fooling people all these years into thinking I'm a saint. It's laughable to make judgements about someone you've never met in real life. But you keep thinking you are right about me. My posts and overall conduct the past 20 years say otherwise. But keep on thinking you are right. (Thursday 24 July 2025; 16:02)

Webmaster request (109,933) by Libra Lamb from USA I think for me the problems were you stopped posting my messages and also there's a handful of characters on here that I refuse to even give a chance to interact with. I check in every few weeks for like 10 seconds. Life goes on. We have too many real problems to worry about opinions. Deuces. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 19:23) this is a reply to message 109,918

Webmaster request (109,918) by Lambi from USA Yeah, like I said this is just the internet interneting. People are mean, and they'll try out being mean online. Have you seen all the unhinged comments on Instagram and X? I feel like we're actually pretty mild and somewhat level-headed here. Also, if you're a Mariah fan, you should try to aspire like her and have thick skin. Homegirl had her family's dog poisoned, their car set on fire, got spit on the face, and had the N-word chanted at her repeatedly while being cornered. What we experience online now in 2025 is like a bite from a fire ant compared to that. She experienced real-life racism in the '70s and '80s and still managed to become the wealthiest, most successful, and most significant out of all her bullies. What's your excuse? Someone dropped a mean comment online, so you have to pack it in? We're all built tougher than that, lamb. (Tuesday 22 July 2025; 13:08)

Favorite songs (108,660) by Libra Lamb from USA Honey. Sweetheart. Crybaby. Just to be around you. There's got to be a way. Obsessed? Sprung? Did I do that? Do you think of me? I didn't mean to turn you on. Got a thing 4 you. Shake it off. Migrate. Melt away. Want you. Vanishing. Fly like a bird. Fly away. Forever. I wish you well. I still believe. Someday. One sweet day, Without you, Up out my face, I'll be there through the rain. Lead the way. Make it happen. Yes, and. For the record. You got me. It's a wrap. It's like that. What more can I give? Thanks 4 nothing'. Clown. Bye bye. Honorable mention to GTFO. Just some of my favorite songs. (Friday 2 May 2025; 19:06)

Discussion (108,653) by Libra Lamb from USA Some of us are not here sorely for your amusement. Sorry I’m not Edward or whoever. There, I feel lighter already. Thanks. (Friday 2 May 2025; 02:16) this is a reply to message 108,652

Discussion (108,652) by Stacey from USA Some folks need to lighten up and enjoy the discussion. It can be fun to let the conspiracy side out of the mind once in a while. Edward understood the assignment. Others need to study harder. (Friday 2 May 2025; 01:09)

Article: What else does the Hall of Fame want from Mariah? (108,647) by Libra Lamb from USA Don't forget to stretch when reaching so high, don't wanna pull a muscle. I hope your 401 K wasn't flushed down the toilet with this new admin. (Thursday 1 May 2025; 16:56) this is a reply to message 108,641

Article: What else does the Hall of Fame want from Mariah? (108,641) by Stacey from USA I can't help but wonder if Tommy played a role in getting MC shutout at the Grammys. She was pushing further into R&B, something TM despised. Daydream was a commercial success but maybe Tommy orchestrated the shutout at such a high profile event to "shut up" Mariah and push her back to pop/adult contemporary. (Thursday 1 May 2025; 01:16)
